This incident will most likely stay local and not go national. With the happenings in Ferguson this will not look good for the media’s agenda.

Glad he is ok, it could have been much worse. Once they had him down they could have easily beat him with a skateboard causing serious injury.

I hope they find and arrest them. But you know we’ll have to endure hearing their mothers saying what good boys they are.

“I hope they find and arrest them.”

I wish we could find a more effective way to shame and truly punish those Norwegians who continually commit these heinous crimes.

Arrest and incarceration just doesn't do it for these animals.

The one stomping was black, but others were jeering and videoing, and at least one was white. See photo, white kid with skateboard in hand 3 feet away.

Here in California park rangers are armed, I can’t tell if the rangers in the city of brotherly love are.

This is another case of urban black culture defining itself while others observe. It is a beatdown today, a robbery tomorrow, maybe a rape and a murder or two, and the black kid will have become a black man that black kids will look up to. Blacks will march in mass to defend his right to be a thug.

There is now an entire generation of sociopaths.

Literally they have no conscience and no concept of right and wrong.

In my part of California, Park Rangers are prominently armed and they carry themselves that way, too.

A little short of a frowny scowl, but not by much.

When I was a kid they were nice and many of them had no guns. They’d give you pointers about the safety of your fire, and in some cases they’d collect your camp site fee.
